That depends on whether it's free flowing or not. Free flowing should be a lot. But that's not how it works when attached to a carb so I don't know.

I usually shift when I feel the engine start to fall off of it's torque which was around 5500 RPMS. It should be good for 6500 but I haven't taken it that high. I could do that in first and see what happens. I could also shift from 1 to 2 and wait a moment before nailing the throttle and see what happens.
